Summer Reading series … Modern Log Cabin

This week’s installment of my summer reading series features Modern Log Cabin Quilting by Susan Beal. Fans of the log cabin block will enjoy this book … from quilts, to home decor, to bags and more. You can check out why Susan loves log cabin quilting over at Crafter News.

The log cabin is such a simple and versatile block that most quilters have probably made a log cabin block (or a variation) somewhere along the way – Cherry Fizz is a variation that I finished earlier this year.

And if you want a quick summer sewing project, Fat Quarterly has a block pocket apron quilt along with Susan Beal over here. You can make an apron from a pillowcase and some scraps using one of the patterns from the book.
